Britney Spears - Greatest Hits - My Prerogative

Many people have questioned the release of a "Greatest Hits" with only five years in the business. Britney herself has decided, at this point, to take two years off before she plans on returning to the music scene and reiventing herself. What "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" does is show off Britney's greatest accomplishments. While the CD leaves you wanting more, this DVD satisfies you and captivates the audience. Many video collections leave something out and causes an uproar because fans wonder why their favorite video wasn't collected. This is not the case here. Every video Spears has done in her career, from "Baby One More Time..." through "My Prerogative" are included. Even a very short clip of the video "Outrageous" that was going to be released along with the movie Catwoman. Someone was very generous in including much more for the fan. There are a great number of videos that are included in the "alternate" menu. With this option, you have the chance to watch unedited versions of videos including "Oops!... I Did it Again" and "Everytime." There are many hidden surprises throughout the DVD, including an acapella "Im A Slave 4 U" with Britney singing too you, an alternate version of "Toxic" that includes the words and has Britney wearing nothing but her diamonds, and a very humrous "Don't Let me be the Last to Know" that takes you on a trip through her vidoes, looking at some of the leading men. Another thing to gush over is the fact that the international videos have been included. There's the album version of "Overprotected" that was shown overseas in Europe. There's also the remixed version as shown in the United States. "Born to Make You Happy" also has been included and "I Love Rock and Roll" is here. There are many more clips and intimate moments hidden throughout the DVD and it is simply breathtaking and impressive. Even if you are not a fan of Britney's music, I think it would be hard to not marvel at her video work and performances. In some other review someone complained about the sound quality. It may not be 5.1 surround sound but it doesn't kill the DVD. It's nothing to complain over. The sound quality is great and the visual quality of the DVD is enhanced and looks better than ever. The DVD menu for me was a little hard to navigate at first but I really liked the presentation. The idea was to make the entire DVD like a time capsule- the videos progress from present to the first, "Baby One More Time." They are elso seperated into Britney eras. Different songs from each of the album periods play as you decide which one to go to or where you want to go. Packaging was also impressive. The booklet that came along with it was nice- a pullout poster of Britney with the video listing included printed on the back. There's also a montage of many pictures and items from Britney's music career, performances, and shows. If I had to make one complaint about the DVD it would be that with all the extra features that were included, a performance or two from perhaps one of the Video Music Awards- such as the big shocker with Madonna, or even the "Satisfaction/Oops," or "Slave" could have been included. Also, there was a "Megamix" video that Spears released on her website and put alongside her "My Prerogative" video. I'd think they would have found a place for it on the DVD but it is also absent. For me though, these are the only things to complain about. I was expecting a good DVD but Spears delivered. If this is just the end of a part of her career, I look forward to see where she's willing to go in the future. Looking at this DVD, it was fun to see the "Sometimes" Britney after seeing her more haunting side as featured in "Everytime." It was fun seeing the "Lucky" Britney and then being able to see her take a personal stance and attack towards being famous in "My Prerogative." Of course, it was nice to see that racey side of her in "Baby One More Time" and then see her rather mature and scandelous side in modern day in the "Outrageous" clip. In all, this was one great DVD that exceeds expectations. There is no need to list the content really because every video she's done is here. The quality all around is impressive and definately worth your money, attention and would make a great gift to anyone looking for some good entertainment from the artist Britney Spears.

Hola from Peru (South America); I'm enjoying of our dear Britney Spears "Greatest Hits" DVD and I must say that I wasn't aware about its release until one week ago when I was watching on Yahoo! Launch some streaming videos (with the quality you have over internet) and the ad of her DVD pop in! I run into Amazon.com and after a quick review of the contents and features on the collection without any hesitation I promptly performed my purchase with my credit card. That same day of its release on Nov. 9th! Seven days later I have Britney to sing for me any time that I want! No more waiting for a "Special" on MTV or poor quality recordings from cable TV! I might be one of the first ones to own this DVD here in Lima-Peru (South America) if not the first one! Regular retail CDs and DVD stores in my city are going to got it in three weeks at the most (maybe) and probbably for the double that I paid here in Amazon (including S&H!) I just wished that just like in Whitney Houston's DVD, an interactive Britney would greet me to her Smash Hits with a "Hi Welcome to my DVD! Enjoy and have fun!" looking to the camera and then herself proceeding to point at each song selection or wathsoever! I still like the interactive menu but if the picture of the video you select would expand while approaching to you, then that would have been extraordinary! Wouldn't that have been awesome! One advice for those who are just about to receive it or buy it: Try to keep your finger tips extra super clean when you tear out the protective plastic of the box and touch the "platinium" cardboard case of the DVD! Otherwise you will find your finger prints all over the box! Anyway I am very satisfied with Amazon service, since it was the first time I purchased something from them, it came quik in perfect condition and brand new packed! (It came along with another DVD I ordered too!) Why is the sound of "Stronger" (My favorite song and video) so poor? It's the only one that doesn't sound as digitally clear and "pristine" as they say! And I own a 6.1 channels "Kenwood" Audio-Video Sound Receiver with DTS mode! Since my first language isn't english I wish this DVD Collection hand't gave up the captions or subtitles option in english! They're superb for learning english while singing your favorite song! Britney Spears' "Live from Las Vegas" DVD does have the captions and subtitles option! I wish for Britney to come and visit Peru someday! She would love the archeological sites and the lost citadel of the Incas: Machu Picchu up in the Andes! I would be her guide since I work for the Tourist Information here in Lima and I like to have friends from all over the world! Looking forward to hear back from you all very soon also if you ever plan to come and visit Peru: The Proud Land of the Incas! Kind Regards Cesar Dominguez Lima, Peru (South America) Homepage: [...] (with more pictures and information of my dear country Peru)

Love it !

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who adores Britney Spears and she loves it. Shes always playing it and copying the dance moves. I really must say that at least for my daughter, its really been worth the money because it keeps her busy. Britney does such a great job both singing and dancing, it must be such hard work. One thing I love about all of Britney's videos is all of them tell a story. 5 stars is not enough for this amazing piece of work, Britney is a true talent. Another thing I just adore of her is that she can pull off being sexy but sweet at the same time, some other artists are either too good its fake or sluts, but Britney's style is sexy and sweet at the same time. Take, the toxic video, she pulls off wearing a very sexy diamond covered outfit, but the whole spirit of it is sweet. The toxic music video as well as the others have scenes, but also their is an alternate version and for toxic its Toxic karaoke where the whole thing Britney is dancing in the diamond outfit the whole time. My daughter loves the karaoke and sining along. This DVD is perfect, I highly recommend it for young kids that love Britney Spears.

The videos look OK. Stereo only (bummer!!!) lose a star... The menu is a huge hindrance (lose a star - so bad you could take off two I'm being generous) getting around at times is WTF. Some videos are labeled Expanded functionally. How do you access the expanded functions beats me never did figure that out. So meh OK but could be a LOT better. The Singles Collection (Deluxe) with DVD is easier to get around - stereo only too (bummer). Did they give this to Britney and let her navigate it by herself.... I severely doubt that. Technology can be a bad thing if you totally screw it up. You can't fix stupid.

Britney Spears is truly inspirational, in that she can always change with the passing of time and re-create her image, going from naughty yet shy school girl, to a seductive belly dancer, to a mature and sensitive woman that she is in "Everytime." All the videos are here: the U.S. and international ones... ALL of them. You asked for it, they delievered it. To start off, the menu is visually compelling for its timeline feel. The navigation is a bit tricky at first but it will become more natural the more you play around with it. The quality of the DVD I would say is decent. The picture quality is sharp and crisp and vivid. This DVD is also packed with many extra features, although some are really unneceassry, but it's nice that they're there. There are alternate versions of "Everytime" and "Toxic" and an acapella of "Slave 4 U" and bloopers in between. Some are actually quite funny and it really shows Britney's fun side. There is also a hidden alternate version of "My Prerogative" which I think is really cool. I highly recommend getting this DVD; it's fun, it's catchy, it's almost like watching Britney's yearbook of her growth and changes.

Well, I'm just writing from my job. I have received my dvd a couple of days ago, not personally, someone else got it for me and the first impression I had was a sonorous wowww !!! for the really really nice platimun cover (you gotta be careful because the fingertips easily can print on it) and inside you can find out a pull out picture of Britney with that black outfit, btw she looks terrific, so I guess I won't be able to sleep for the next days :). Then, watching the dvd, the first thing I noticed was the cool menu, in diagonal way, just a little dizzy, but you can manage it easily after few tries. It has all her videos, they sound great considering they were recorded in 2.0 channels and the extras are definitely a "must have" for avery Brit big fan. This is my fourth purchase from Amazon, and I must congratulate them for its excellent service. Next thing I'll buy: The extended edition of Return of The King. So anxious to complete my LOTR collection. Eugenio Torres (Lima-Peru) Come and visit us!!! PD. What is a "pristine"??

This dvd contains the greatest number of high quality pop videos I've ever seen.All of them are good,most are very good and a couple are works of genius (the unedited version of "Oops! I did it again" and the acapella - which means singing without any backing music - version of "Slave").And there is so much variety to see and hear and so much that is both beautiful and original.I had only vaguely seen two of the videos before and wouldn't have recognised Britney Spears if she had bumped into me on the street.But I doubt I'll forget her presence in these videos for years to come.It's the quality of her voice and her dancing and acting.She looks better and sounds better than Madonna,is more aware of how to match her singing to backing music than a singer with a greater vocal range such as Mariah Carey,and is more able to catch your eye and keep you looking at her than someone else who can sing and dance well,such as Christina Aguilera. These videos overwhelmingly project an atmosphere of fun and enthusiasm.It's a pity she cut off all her hair recently because when Britney flicks her hair (as she does in the videos of "Oops!" and "Sometimes" it is such a lovely sight). It says on the back of the dvd that Britney is the video queen.I can believe this is true but it doesn't do justice to the simple fact that with or without a camera present this woman has got what it takes.The record executives who signed her up 10 years ago must have thought they'd found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Whatever your taste in music buy this dvd - if you don't like it, you're not human!

Hier einige Facts, die Britney-Fans anscheinend noch nicht wissen. In dem Video My Prerogative (meine geistigen Prinzipen)erzählt sie ganz unbefangen, daß alle Storys die über Sie erzählt werden gelogen sind (Liebschaften, Klapsenaufenthalte, Nervenzusammenbrüche, Mutterschaften, Drogen, Lifestyle, Partys und die Angaben auf den Booklets, Sleeves etc) Sie erzählt auch von ihrer Schwester (ich denke Mariah Carey ist ihre Schwester, früher verfeindet, heute im sehr guten Einvernehmen, Britney hat mit diesem Song die Tür wieder geöffnet). Sie ist also eine extrem ernsthafte und gewissenhafte Frau, ganz im Gegensatz zu Mariah Carey, die sich mit ihrer "Totally Busted" Serie bei Playboy TV die Sympathien vieler ihrer Fans verscherzt hat (meine allerdings nicht!) Das Video Outrageous ist aufschlußreich: Sie kommt extra nach New York um mit Schwarzen Jungs, riesige Brocken übrigends, im Hinterhof Basketball zu spielen. Als sie mit eigenem Ball genial antritt: 1 gegen 1 (sie ist eine extrem gute Basketballspielerin) gehen alle Schwarzen fluchtartig stiften. Außer Snoop Doggy Dogg (Hundeschnupfen),der sich aber einfach nicht wehren will. Britney wirft den Ball weg, springt Snoop an hängt sich an ihn und leckt ihm wie ein junger Hund übers Gesicht. Das hat bisher noch Keine geschafft, zumal klar ist was kommt: Snoop dreht sich angewidert ab, da mußt du als Tuss hart sein. Die Erklärung ist einfach: Sie ist halt auf den Snoop ein bißchen sauer, weil der mit Katy Perry singt und nicht mit ihr. Im Song Somtimes (einer ihrer schönsten) sagt sie klar, was bei ihr liebesmäßig geht, nämlich gar Nix. Sie hat einen realen Typen im Kopf, der ihr selbstverständlich noch nie gesagt hat, daß er sie liebt und den sie absolut nicht aushält; sie will aber keinen Anderen. (Ganz schön eigensinnig, dieses Mädel) "Sometimes I rush, sometimes I hide, somtimes I am scared of you"(Manchmal renn ich vor dir weg, manchmal versteck ich mich vor dir, manchmal hab ich Angst vor dir). "Gib mir Zeit, ich will Tag und Nacht bei dir Sein, ich glaube dir Alles, was du sagst". Alle ihre Songs drehen sich nur um diesen einen Typen! Diese hingebungsvolle ehrliche Liebe geht allen Frauen auf den Docht, die hassen Britney wie die Pest. Sie ist überhaupt die meistgehaßte Frau der Welt, trotzdem hat sie noch keinen Bodygard, sondern einen "Anrufbeantworter", mitdem sie allerlei Schabernack treibt! Wenn du also eine Beziehung hast, bring besser kein Britney Spears Produkt nach Hause. Für alle Anderen empfehle ich die DVD wärmstens, Britney Spears hat keinen schwachen oder mittelmäßigen Video- Clip. Als Ergänzung empfehle ich die CD/DVD "The Singles Collection" mit etlichen Videos neueren Datums und die CD "Oops, I dit it again" mit vielen unbekannten genialen Songs, wie z.B einer Cover-Version von "Satisfaction" in der sie die Stones locker stehen läßt, weil sie auf einmal viel Humor hat: "I can get no satifaction, baby". Wenn ich euch das nächte Mal über Britney erzähle, werde ich zeigen, daß sie auch ein ganz schönes Ferkel sein kann...... und daß sie eine veritable Göttin im griechisch antiken Sinn ist, mit allerlei Verwandlungs und sonstigen Künsten ausgestattet. Sowas gibt es nämlich wirklich.

Magnífica recopilación con material extra, making of, versiones karaoke, etc. Excelente calidad. Lo único malo los menús que son un poco enrevesados. Gracias, servicio eficiente y muy rápido.

Primer álbum audiovisual recopilatorio de la princesa del pop, con todos los videos de las primeras 4 eras de abrir, con detrás de escenas jamás vistos y con los hits remasterisados es un DVD que todo can de abrir tiene que tener, y bueno incluso si no eres fan, disfrutarás de esta colección y con el servicio de Amazon que es siempre de muy alta calidad.

Bought used so didn't know what to expect...but it works perfect. Love Britney's music and her videos.
